Abstract
In this study, mindfulness was applied in the university to help students reach a higher self-knowledge and reduce stress levels. The general goals are for students to identify their role in every situation and moment of their everyday routine and to teach them how to control their emotions, thus increasing their motivation and tolerance to frustration. The sample consisted of 64 students of Business Administration and International Business degrees. The method involved multiple sessions and exercises that took place for eight weeks. Using data from an initial questionnaire and a final, long-term questionnaire, this study assesses stress determinants. The conclusions indicate that participants' stress levels are up to 15% lower, and they feel more relaxed. Mindfulness is an additional tool for self-knowledge acquisition that increases motivation and enables analysis of the environment through a more objective viewpoint.
